Other Mommy, starring Jessica Chastain, has landed with solid previews at the North American box office. But with poor critics’ ratings, could its opening weekend be hampered? The horror movie is expected to land at #1 in the box office rankings in North America in its opening weekend. Keep scrolling for the deets.
The critics gave it just 20% on Rotten Tomatoes‘ Tomatometer, and the audience rating is also discouraging. Critics noted that despite Jessica Chastain’s commendable performance as the spectral embodiment of an overbearing parent, Other Mommy was too silly for its occasionally effective jump scares to make the film genuinely spooky. The movie is expected to have a rocky run at the box office.
Other Mommy’s Thursday previews at the North American box office
According to box office analyst, Luiz Fernando, the Jessica Chastain starrer Other Mommy collected a solid $3.6 million from the Thursday previews at the North American box office. It is much better than expected and is above many horror movies as well. Other Mommy’s Thursday previews gross is more than Iron Lung‘s [$3.5 million], Scream 5 [$3.5 million], The Black Phone [$3 million], and Longlegs [$3 million].

Opening weekend projection
According to reports, with $3.6 million previews, a film could open with more than $30 million in its opening weekend, but with the film’s poor reviews, it will not cross the mark. The horror movie is on track to earn between $25 million and $30 million on its three-day opening weekend at the box office in North America. It would be one of the most incredible debuts for a Blumhouse release.
